Senator Cotton was a little bit worrisome at first. But that’s turned around. He’s really come into his own, and a great supporter of President Trump. I’m wondering if, with his resume, Senator Cotton has potential to rise to the Presidency.

“Illegals reduce job opportunities and lower the wage scale for low-skilled labor.”.......

While true, tell me how many of the potential “workers” currently un-employed, would actually take the jobs now being done by migrant workers? I did NOT say illegal migrants workers, I have great respect for the “legal” migrant workers who are working instead of collecting welfare. Illegals on the other hand need to be deported and, should they desire to return, come here the LEGAL way.

"I’m wondering if, with his resume, Senator Cotton has potential to rise to the Presidency."

The post-Kennedy/Johnson CW was that POTUS should have high level executive experience, and as such, legislators made poor presidents. Indeed, 2008, McCain v. Obama, was the first race in decades in which at least one of the candidates had not been a governor or sitting VP. Obama, IMHO pretty much validated that CW.

Should President Trump have a successful eight years, I think people will be much more inclined to look outside the swamp for leadership much as our founders intended. Yes, there are decent senators, and Cotton is, in some ways, proving himself to be one of them, but I think the senate has a long way to go to restore its credibility with the American people, and as a tainted body, the taint rubs off on its members by default.

I don’t see “president” in his future, but he was the only member of the Senate to vote against giving Iran $150+ Billion. Even Ted Cruz said, “I’ll buy that for a dollar!”

I’m thinking the same thing. But honestly, after President Trump, the Elites will have the primaries so rigged it will be impossible.
